  Hey everybody, welcome to the good morning from the Chicken
• 0:04
  Coop podcast. My name is Kim Johnson and I am
• 0:07
  a mastermindset coach, creative strategist, and also happened to
• 0:10
  be a farmer. This is my chicken coop and I
• 0:12
  come out here every day to record a podcast to teach
• 0:16
  distinctions, possibilities, new ways of thinking, and just bring
• 0:20
  some joy into the world. So welcome to the coop and let's
• 0:23
  start your day off in a fantastic way.
• 0:28
  Hey everybody, good morning From the porch, can you hear all
• 0:31
  those bugs in the background? Just it's amazing the frogs, the
• 0:36
  bugs, it's just awesome. Anyway, today we are talking
• 0:41
  about Goldilocks and the three bears.
• 0:43
  Do you remember the story of, you know, how she breaks into
• 0:46
  the Bears house and she's eating porridge and it's too hot, too
• 0:50
  cold, just right. The bed is too hard, too soft,
• 0:53
  just right? You go through this whole thing
• 0:55
  about, you know, she's looking for what's just right.
• 0:58
  Well, isn't it funny? I mean, first of all, the story
• 1:01
  is reprehensible. She breaks into the Bears house.
• 1:04
  Let's not even go there and they're giving this to us as a
• 1:07
  children's book. I mean, we think of it as a
• 1:09
  children's books, but it really was a a tale for everyone
• 1:13
  because, you know, hundreds and hundreds of years ago, those
• 1:16
  were meant to be learning stories, not just for children,
• 1:21
  but for adults. So anyway, back to the what's at
• 1:24
  hand. This is such a great thing when
• 1:29
  you really stop other than the the break in thinking about
• 1:32
  she's seeking what's right and she doesn't stop.
• 1:34
  She doesn't get the porridge delivered to her and it's too
• 1:38
  cold and she says, OK, I'll just eat it anyway or it's too hot
• 1:42
  and she says, let me just burn my mouth.
• 1:44
  She's she keeps seeking and a big part of the metaphor in this
• 1:49
  is that we as human beings seek out what's just right, or we at
• 1:53
  least used to until we believed we were.
• 1:57
  We've been taught that we we must just, you know, suck it up.
• 2:01
  This is a suck it up Princess moment or whatever you like to
• 2:05
  say for it. For me, I I can still make do
• 2:11
  with what's there, but it doesn't mean I'm not seeking.
• 2:14
  I will make the best out of what I've been handed.
• 2:17
  However, I'm going to keep seeking.
• 2:19
  And sometimes this creates problems because people say, oh,
• 2:23
  well, can't you just be happy with what you have?
• 2:25
  And I always find that phrase so interesting because I'm like,
• 2:30
  well, I am always happy somewhere inside of me.
• 2:34
  But at the same time, let me be very clear, I'm always seeking
• 2:38
  out other things. I am definitely seeking out
• 2:41
  other things. I'm always seeking to grow,
• 2:43
  expand. What else can I do?
• 2:45
  What else can I incorporate? How else can this show up?
• 2:48
  Because it's just my hardwiring. It's just who I am, so, and it's
• 2:52
  who we all are. Somewhere inside of us, we are
• 2:55
  all that way. We all want to achieve more and
• 2:59
  we all want to. And I don't care if it's more of
• 3:02
  a nap, OK? Like, think about this.
• 3:05
  We are wired for expansion and we have to accept that we are
• 3:10
  wired for expansion. And that doesn't always mean our
• 3:12
  waistline. What it means is that we have to
• 3:16
  really consider what's right for us, what has to happen for us to
• 3:19
  thrive. And in the, you know, in the
• 3:22
  world of Goldilocks, she was seeking it out.
• 3:24
  She was thinking, OK, this porridge is not going to make me
• 3:27
  thrive. This bed is not going to make me
• 3:28
  thrive. So we end up, you know, going on
• 3:32
  and doing other things, looking and trying to find it.
• 3:37
  And in that process of doing that, we, we really have to
• 3:40
  remember that, you know, as human beings, it's it, it's our
• 3:46
  awareness that helps us more than anything.
• 3:48
  When we are ultimately aware, we can reduce all the things that
• 3:53
  we don't like, like the stress, the, the, the anxieties.
• 3:57
  We can pull those back because we're going to be motivated by
• 4:00
  that to to seek out that thing that has us thrive.
• 4:04
  But in the process, we want to make sure we're moment to
• 4:07
  moment. We're we're paying close
• 4:09
  attention because why go way off?
• 4:11
  You've heard me say that a million times, but the story of
• 4:13
  Goldilocks just really exemplifies the fact that on the
• 4:20
  smallest of small things, we can do this.
• 4:22
  We don't have to settle in those moments in and have it be
• 4:27
  something that is so far out and we don't have to suck it up in
• 4:32
  those small moments. If the if the burger that you
• 4:35
  ordered isn't good, send it back and say I'm sorry this isn't
• 4:39
  right and don't sit there and suck it up.
• 4:42
  If you can not fix it, fix it quickly because you know, beyond
• 4:47
  all of the, the crap that happens everyday to us is what
• 4:51
  we take home with it. That anxiety, the crappy, you
• 4:54
  know, stories that we're taking and talking about, all of that,
• 4:58
  that leads to other things. It shifts our beliefs.
• 5:01
  So when we clean them up when they're small, we have a better
• 5:03
  chance of reaching and attaining those other moments.
• 5:06
  So just remember living intentionally and thinking about
• 5:10
  what it has to happen for you to thrive, what you're going to do,
• 5:13
  changing those small things, they all add up to big outcomes.
• 5:17
  All right, my friends, I hope you have a Goldilocks kind of
• 5:19
  day and I will see you all tomorrow.
• 5:22
  Bye.
